UNG Team Camp Underclassman Standouts

UNG team camp gave me the opportunity to watch a lot of the junior varsity teams of good programs in the state of Georgia these guys listed below caught my eye and will continue to the keep the culture of success pumping through their respective programs.    Howard is an athletic wing with a lot of upside and physical tools that immediately catch your attention. He attacks the rim relentlessly and elevates well above defenders to finish around the rim inside. He is a high energy guy, and consistently brings a spark on both ends of the floor. Defensively, his length and athleticism allow him to guard multiple positions while also providing help side rim protection. As he continues developing within a strong Collins Hill program, he has all the potential in the world to become a high impact player.     Thomas is a strong, physical guard who thrives when attacking downhill in the half court. Once he gets a head of steam, he becomes very difficult to keep from getting into the lane. He finishes well through contact and consistently puts pressure on interior defenses. Beyond scoring, he brings a winning mentality through his effort and toughness. He flies around defensively, generating steals and deflections that often shift momentum. He has the tools to become a major contributor as he continues to grow and develop over the next few seasons.     A long capable wing or guard who brings a lot to the table offensively. He moves well with the ball and consistently made creative plays in transition, finding teammates with some nice reads in the open floor. His ability to knock it down from outside is there with his pretty stroke from deep. He also displayed a crafty finishing package around the rim changing angles well in the air and using his body control to avoid shot blockers. Defensively, his length gives him the ability to guard multiple positions effectively. He is definitely a player worth tracking closely over the next few years.     Jacoway is an explosive guard who can get downhill in a hurry thanks to his quick first step and strong feel for moving without the basketball. He consistently found ways to get into the lane and showed impressive touch finishing around the basket. Even when traffic collapsed around him, he was able to finish difficult shots through contact and around bigger defenders. His ability to attack gaps and create offense puts constant pressure on opposing defenses. He is an exciting young guard with a lot of offensive upside.     Curry is one of the best kept secrets in the Atlanta area. He plays with a ton of confidence in his ability and looks comfortable in pivotal situations. Curry averaged double figures over 3 games and scored in a variety of moves to the basket, backdoor cuts, and in the last game made it rain from downtown. Curry is going to be a very good player over the next couple years at Centennial and should blossom into one of the better premiere outside shooters in the state. He plays hard on defense as well, super scrappy when guarding the basketball with a lot of active hands.
